Send a Texas Ranger and Call It a Day
The above was posted to the official Face Book account of J. Kenneth Blackwell who is a longtime conservative political figure, former Ohio Secretary of State, and self-described Christian nationalist. He served as co-chair of George W. Bush’s 2004 re-election campaign and has remained an outspoken voice in right-wing media. A frequent critic of immigration policy and progressive social movements, Blackwell gained my attention for a post framing Los Angeles protesters as criminal "invaders." This article is a direct response.

The operation had been planned for 1.5 years in complete secrecy and had been personally supervised by President Zelenskyy. The drone attack was incredibly successful as Ukraine claims it has destroyed 41 bombers, or roughly one-third of Russian strategic bomber fleet.

The Silent Superweapon
Editorial Note: This satirical essay is a speculative exploration of administrative overreach, government efficiency rhetoric, and the unintended consequences of digitized control.

The Ultimate Manifesto of Absurd Revolution
Part I: The Stage is Set, the Play is Mad Act I: The Absurdity Overture Reality, as we've been sold it, is a limited-run stage production directed by a committee of gibbering baboons. The set design is... ambitious. Picture this: gated communities sprouting like gleaming, chrome-plated fungi next to favelas cobbled together from desperation and discarded dreams. A smiling cartoon dog, perpetually sipping coffee, while the ozone layer develops a comb-over and the polar bears start taking bets on which of us goes extinct first.
